Half a billion consumers and deep supply chains — the market that sets the bar
North America is the world's largest single consumer market — the United States, Canada and Mexico bound by USMCA into one deeply integrated supply chain. For a supplier or brand, clearing it is the global benchmark: win here and you can sell almost anywhere.
But the bar is high: FDA, FCC, UL and CPSC for the US, CSA for Canada, NOM for Mexico, plus state-level rules and a channel landscape dominated by big-box retail and marketplaces. FangService localizes into English, French (Quebec) and Spanish, certifies to US/CA/MX standards and researches so your label and channel fit.
